I've been very happy with MarkMonitor. They have good customer service, a good reputation, and best of all, they auto-renew domains and send an invoice. That means that the failure mode is "domain is renewed, I owe them a check."

If your domains are riding on a credit card, you potentially have a failure mode of "card was declined, my domain did not renew, everything is down."

and then someone steals the domain out from under you and you'll need to pay in bitcoins to get it back.

How much does markmonitor cost ? There is no pricing anywhere.

I’m guessing that’s an indication that it’s prohibitively expensive for small organisations?

Back in 2014 they wanted a $10k/yr minimum.

>>sandGo+qB
My invoices say $20/yr per .com; other TLDs are more expensive. Because we have a ton of domains we spend over $20k a year with them. I'm sure there is a minimum but I don't know what it is these days.

I would not say MarkMonitor is a tool for startups. It's a tool for organizations that would lose a lot if they lost a domain. I bet Zoho wishes they could go back in time and spend $10k to avoid this problem they had.
